Real World, StepUp's program for young adults ages 16-21, is following strategies to stay motivated and focused on goals during the pandemic. They are also exploring different topics weekly. In the past month, Sharlene Provilus of Write Speak Inspire led sessions about Spoken Word. The participants are excited to explore the culinary arts next, as Chef Carmen will teach the group how to prepare quick, nutritious meals. Cooking demonstrations will allow our college freshmen and young adults to get comfortable in the kitchen.

The Children’s Program has focused on preparing all of the Step 2/Life Skills participants and recent graduate families for the school year, whether it's beginning virtually or in person. We made sure every child had a backpack, school supplies and healthy snacks to start the year off right!

Thanks to Vintage Church and our Amazon Wish List shoppers for equipping our children for the new school year.
